A Longitudinal Examination Of Flow As A Predictor Of Recreational Exercise, Brian Michael Chichester
A Longitudinal Examination Of Flow As A Predictor Of Recreational Exercise, Brian Michael Chichester
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Flow state is a valued psychological state of enjoyment and well-being. It is characterized by feelings of intrinsic self-reward and marked by nine dimensions theorized to contribute to flow state. Flow has been studied mostly in elite athletes, whom report highly lucid flow experiences; to a much lesser extent it has been studied in recreational exercisers. Most prior research methodologies involve experience sampling or qualitative techniques, such as interviewing. Only one demonstrably valid and reliable flow instrument is widely available for efficient, quantitative measure of flow experiences. This study measures flow longitudinally in a recreational exercising population by comparing a …
Validation Of A Serotonin Checklist In A Parkinson’S Disease Population, Kelly Diane Darby-Holder
Validation Of A Serotonin Checklist In A Parkinson’S Disease Population, Kelly Diane Darby-Holder
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Although the distinctive pathological marker of Parkinson’s Disease is the progressive death of neurons that produce dopamine, there are also alterations in the production of quantities of other neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine and serotonin that contribute to the disease. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) can be divided into two distinct classes based on the manifestation of motor symptoms, Type A and Type B Parkinson’s Disease. Type B PD patients often manifest symptoms in which serotonin deficiency plays an important role, which often includes a history of depression. Within the brain and spinal cord serotonin has wide spread projections, acting as an important …
The Effects Of Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate On Response Acquisition, Sean Patrick Laraway
The Effects Of Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate On Response Acquisition, Sean Patrick Laraway
Dissertations
In the last 10 years, the use and abuse of the club drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has noticeably increased. Because GHB has only recently emerged as a drug of abuse, relatively little is known about the drug's behavioral effects, including its effects on learning. Therefore, the present study sought to characterize GHB's effects on rats' acquisition of a lever-press response using a two-lever, resetting/cancellation procedure. Under this procedure, responses on one ( reinforcement ) lever produced a single food pellet after a delay of 0, 20, or 40 s. Presses on the second ( cancellation ) lever during a delay interval …
Finding The Feathers In “Birds Of A Feather”: An Antiterrorist And Counterterrorist Dilemma In Profiling, Ibpp Editor
Finding The Feathers In “Birds Of A Feather”: An Antiterrorist And Counterterrorist Dilemma In Profiling, Ibpp Editor
International Bulletin of Political Psychology
This article describes a significant challenge for intelligence analysts attempting to identify individuals, groups, and organizations that have joined, are joining, or will join forces in terrorist enterprises.
Induction And Expression Of Cocaine-Induced Behavioral Sensitization: Modulation By A Partial D₂-Like Agonist, Janet Marie Sibole
Induction And Expression Of Cocaine-Induced Behavioral Sensitization: Modulation By A Partial D₂-Like Agonist, Janet Marie Sibole
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a partial D₂-like dopamine agonist (i.e. terguride) would block the induction or expression of cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization in pre-weanling rats. The ability of terguride to induce behavioral sensitization was also examined, as partial D₂-like agonists have agonistic actions in cases of low dopaminergic tone.
The Effects Of Lesions To The Superior Colliculus And Ventromedial Thalamus On [Kappa]-Opioid-Mediated Locomotor Activity In The Preweanling Rat, Arturo Rubin Zavala
The Effects Of Lesions To The Superior Colliculus And Ventromedial Thalamus On [Kappa]-Opioid-Mediated Locomotor Activity In The Preweanling Rat, Arturo Rubin Zavala
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this thesis was to determine the neuronal circuitry mediating U50,488-induced locomotion in preweanling rats. To this end, preweanling rats received bilateral electrolytic lesions of the ventromedial thalamus or superior colliculus and, two days later, the same rats received a challenge injection of U50,488. It was predicted that bilateral lesions of the ventromedial thalamus or superior colliculus would attenuate the U50,488-induced locomotor activity of 18-day-old rats.
Long-Term Effects Of 3,4- Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Mdma) On Serotonergic And Dopaminergic Functioning, Jodi Lynn Kohutek
Long-Term Effects Of 3,4- Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Mdma) On Serotonergic And Dopaminergic Functioning, Jodi Lynn Kohutek
Theses Digitization Project
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) popularly known as "Ecstasy" continues to gain popularity as a recreational drug that has been shown to increase serotonin and dopamine levels. The present study has demonstrated that repeated exposure to MDMA produces long-term damage to serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons in various regions of the rat brain.
